Verily
A student came into my classroom to interview another student and introduced himself by saying, “pardon me madam, but could I trouble you for a moment?”
“indeed my good sir you may..indeed”

Student 1 singing: ” Ti a drink with gin and breaad!”
Student 2: ” it’s jam and bread. Not gin. Gin and bread is for grown ups.”
It's Shakespeare day!
Student 1: thy mother is a droning beef fed flap dragon!
Student 2: Alack thy didn’t!

I will also be trying out polleverywhere.com. I think this will be a great way to let the students use their phones in a positive way in...

I think this is a great idea. What public education needs is innovative ideas and connections to the real life experiences of students.

Student: street crimes.
While reading Shakespeare...
Soothsayer: beware the ides of March!
Student: that’s what she said.
